r0CkiStAh Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Think that everyone is missing the point of this oil crisis. We need a new resource not more oil. We need a solution to this problem not another way around it… US Offshore Oil Drilling this is the problem that Obama and McCain need to solve this problem..

Jazzmoose Posted June 27, 2008 Report Share Posted June 27, 2008 Welcome to the board. However, the reason we're "missing the point" is that we try to keep the political discussions to the politics and religion forum rather than letting it drift all over the board. Admittedly, we're not always successful... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeBop Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 There really aren't any explanations other than supply and demand. Now one could argue that supply is being manipulated... (I'm not making that argument.) One could also argue that demand is manipulated (by government subsidies and taxes.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Alfredson Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Cost me $125 to fill up my van for one gig (up in Alpena, MI, a four hour drive from Lansing) and I had to put more in on the way back. I'm going to have to switch instruments. It costs too much to haul a Hammond and Leslie around. Nose flute, here I come! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim McG Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 There really aren't any explanations other than supply and demand. Now one could argue that supply is being manipulated... (I'm not making that argument.) One could also argue that demand is manipulated (by government subsidies and taxes.) With $18 Billion dollar quarterly profits for the oil companies? C'mon. That is a clear indication of greed, my friend. There is no supply problem here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeBop Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 We're not 'singing different songs' here. It's supply and demand, an equation that makes profits (and losses) possible. To grossly simplify, if no one wanted gas, or if it was available in unlimited quantity, it would be free. You say "greed"; I say (possible) supply manipulation; potato/potahto.

BFrank Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 There are some stations here in SF that are already charging $5/gal for premium. Should have my new Prius within a couple of weeks (on a wait list ...). Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
